Despite their inconsistency, the Teesside club have maintained a respectable sixth position in the Championship table with 60 points from 41 games.

However, their attacking output has been modest, scoring only six goals during this period, with an average of one goal per game. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, low-scoring affairs. The team's ability to bounce back from defeats is evident, as they haven't suffered consecutive losses in this run, alternating between positive and negative results. While there are no particularly high-scoring games or extended winning or losing streaks, Middlesbrough's current form indicates they are a competitive side capable of challenging for a play-off position.
